How is it these contractors are allowed to continually miss the target dates. Funny how they can get stuff done for private industry.
Why do people say this. I know the private sector well, I work in it, the suggestion that deadlines are met there is laughable. The same is true for bureaucracy and waste, the private sector is just as bad. This belief that the public sector automatically makes things delayed and wasteful is so harmful.
As for the project, I don't think it's correct to say paving is complete, the parking lot and the connection to Vic Park are both unpaved.
I was also told the light fixture will be removed and replaced with the correct model, since the (private) contractor made an error and installed the wrong ones. It will be corrected at no cost to the city.
